NAME

r.in.swisstopo - Imports a digital elevation model from swisstopo into a Grass raster map and interpolates it into the current mapset's resolution. The name of the raster map is defined by the user input. A further raster layer (with the appendix '_origres', if it exists already, it will be OVERWRITTEN!) is automatically created and contains the input data in its original resolution. Resultant raster maps will contain elevation data in meters.
r.in.xyz and r.interp.resamp are invoked from within r.in.swisstopo
